Our services
Every family is unique and therefore every funeral is unique, so it’s important to choose a funeral director that can deliver the type and style of funeral that you want.
At Bartholomew’s we pride ourselves on being able to arrange any funeral for a family, whatever their needs, wants or budget.
From the very elaborate to a very simple funeral or a direct cremation, we will give you the same high quality service whichever type of funeral you choose.
Transparency and pricing
Funerals can be expensive, so it’s important to find a funeral director who is open and transparent with their pricing.
All funeral directors in the UK now have to publish a standardised price list to allow families to compare funeral directors if they want to.
At Bartholomew’s we also provide you with an itemised estimate and explain every cost to you as we go along. If any changes are made, we ensure you are aware of the cost implications, so you can make decisions that are right for you and your budget.
Personal connection and comfort
At Bartholomew’s we take a down-to-earth approach to helping you arrange the funeral. We want you to feel safe, comfortable and relaxed in our funeral home.
Our rooms have a welcoming homely feel. And in the funeral home, our team dresses in a more relaxed style than some funeral directors.
Of course, on the day of the funeral, on go our suits and polished shoes as we take our responsibility very seriously to give your loved one a professional send off.
Attention to detail
Details matter when arranging a funeral. We only have one opportunity to get the funeral right for you and your loved one, and there are no second chances to put things right.
From the legal paperwork and procedures to ensuring all the special details you request are delivered perfectly, at Bartholomew & Sons, we ensure every little thing goes smoothly.
